ChatGPT Moment For Robotics Is Around The Corner Says Nvidia CEO

Nauticus Robotics Inc

A top Democrat warned last week that the White House's  government efficiency team could disrupt tax refund processing as representatives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43754316/irs-gears-up-to-lay-off-thousands-of-workers-potentially-impacting-tax-season-no-analysis-to-the-impact-it-will-have-on-operations">began examining Internal Revenue Service operations during peak filing season</a>.
Gavin Kliger, a member of the Department of Government Efficiency that is being led by Elon Musk, visited IRS headquarters in Washington on Feb. 13, requesting detailed information about agency operations and staffing, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/13/politics/doge-visits-the-irs-putting-staffers-on-edge/index.html">according to CNN</a>.
&#8220;My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk&#8217;s henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America. And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason,&#8221; Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) <a href="https://x.com/RonWyden/status/1890114168583565673">wrote on X</a>.

<li>How do billionaires pay less in income tax than you?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/tax-deferring-adv"> Tax deferring is their number one strategy</a>.</li>
</ul>
The visit marks the efficiency department&#8217;s first direct engagement with the tax agency, which employs approximately 100,000 workers. According to CNN, Kliger requested information about each business unit&#8217;s responsibilities and risk factors.
An email shared with CNN that was sent to IRS employees during the visit instructed staff to route queries about &#8220;high-profile visitors&#8221; through proper channels, noting the matter had been &#8220;elevated to Treasury&#8221; for further instruction.
President Donald Trump authorized the IRS review earlier in the day on Feb. 13, telling reporters, &#8220;the Internal Revenue Service will be looked at like everybody else.&#8221; When asked if he expected the agency to be closed, Trump responded: &#8220;No, I don&#8217;t expect it. But I think the Internal Revenue Service will be looked at like everybody else.&#8221;
Trending: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.
The audit follows an <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1886847092888310231?lang=en">informal poll on X</a> where Musk asked followers if they favored reviewing the IRS. The poll showed 91.2% support among respondents. The billionaire issued a poll earlier in December <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42380263/elon-musk-asks-if-irs-funding-should-be-deleted-more-than-60-of-respondents-said-yes#:~:text=Billionaire%20entrepreneur%20Elon%20Musk%20sparked,delete%22%20the%20agency's%20funding%20entirely.">calling for the IRS to be "deleted,"</a> which saw 60.4% of respondents agree with the proposition.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) embraced the scrutiny <a href="https://waysandmeans.house.gov/2025/02/13/chairman-smith-business-as-usual-at-the-irs-is-unacceptable/">in a letter</a> to Acting IRS Commissioner Douglas O&#8217;Donnell. &#8220;Business as usual at the IRS is unacceptable,&#8221; Smith wrote. &#8220;Our government has not been working effectively for the American people, and it needs to change.&#8221;

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
The IRS already faces hiring restrictions under Trump&#8217;s Jan. 20 executive order freezing federal employment. While the broader hiring freeze expires after 90 days, <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/hiring-freeze/">the order</a> says that IRS restrictions will remain until the treasury secretary determines &#8220;it is in the national interest to lift the freeze.&#8221;
No operational changes or layoffs have been announced. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/doge-internal-revenue-service-9697cb99#:~:text=Kliger%20doesn't%20have%20access,obtain%20or%20view%20taxpayer%20information.">The Wall Street Journal reported</a> that a source said Kliger did not access IRS computer systems or taxpayer information during his visit.

Trader Notes: More Crypto Online <a href="https://x.com/Morecryptoonl/status/1892996131896074459">noted</a> that Bitcoin has confirmed a local top, aligning with broader market trends. The price failed to sustain above the Feb. 14 high. For a bullish continuation, it should hold above $94,645 in this potential wave 2. The key invalidation level is $93,450.
Crypto trader CJ explained Bitcoin has tagged last week&#8217;s high and low. It provided clean trades on both sides of the range. The trader awaits to see if mid-range demand holds. Ideally, BTC ranges through the weekend.

Hooters of America is huddling up with its creditors to cook up a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bankruptcy">bankruptcy restructuring plan</a>. 
The famous BBQ wing chain has enlisted legal heavyweights at Ropes &amp; Gray to prep the filing, according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-21/hooters-in-talks-to-prepare-a-bankruptcy-filing-in-coming-months?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a>. The court showdown could kick off within the next two months.
Known for its crop-top uniforms and winking owl mascot, Hooters is trying to get its financial house in order with help from turnaround pros at boutique firm Accordion Partners. 
Meanwhile, some of its lenders have brought in Houlihan Lokey to also advise the process.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Else Is On The Bankruptcy Block?</h2>
Hooters isn&#8217;t the only sit-down dining spot feeling the heat of Chapter 11. 
Mediterranean fast-casual chain Rōti, for example, recently sold out of bankruptcy. According to <a href="https://www.chicagobusiness.com/restaurants/roti-sold-out-bankruptcy-edible-arrangements-founder">Crain&#8217;s Chicago</a>, a private-equity firm led by the founder of Edible Arrangements agreed to take it over. 
Rōti will retain 17 of its 19 locations once the deal is complete.
The culprit behind these filings? Fewer customers waltzing through doors thanks to <a href="https://www.emarketer.com/content/dining-inflation-remains-higher-than-food-home--forcing-restaurants-compete-on-value">inflation</a>. Plus, supply chain headaches, and soaring interest rates are pushing menu prices skyward. As a result, more folks are opting to cook at home. 
More than a dozen major restaurant groups or franchisees waved the white flag and filed for bankruptcy last year, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38992673/the-craziest-parts-of-the-red-lobster-bankruptcy-story-revealed">Red Lobster</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/11/41700829/deal-dispatch-tgi-fridays-goes-bankrupt-bhp-backtracks-comments-and-more-m-a-news">TGI Fridays</a>.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Chart Industries Stock In The Last 5 Years

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) more than doubled its bonus plan for company executives after announcing layoffs for about 3,600 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43874069/meta-slashes-employee-stock-awards-by-10-as-zuckerberg-pours-up-to-65-billion-into-ai-race-against-openai-alphabet-and-amazon-report">employees just last month.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: According to an SEC <a href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1326801/000132680125000021/meta-20250213.htm">filing</a>, on Feb. 13, Meta approved a new bonus structure that raises the annual target bonus amount from 75% of each named executive officer's base salary to 200% of the base salary. 
The bonus structure excludes CEO Mark Zuckerberg, according to the filing.

The move to increase bonuses for Meta's executives comes after the company announced in January that it would be cutting 5% of its workforce. That&#8217;s about 3,600 employees. 
Meta described the cuts as "performance terminations" aimed at improving efficiency.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve decided to raise the bar on performance management and move out low-performers faster,&#8221; Zuckerberg wrote in an internal memo published by Bloomberg.&nbsp;
Former Meta employees<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43723246/meta-faces-backlash-as-laid-off-workers-say-they-were-unfairly-targeted-despite-strong-performance-records"> spoke out</a> on social media. They claim that some high performers, including those on parental and medical leave, were unfairly targeted in the layoffs.  
&#8220;Meta is now the cruelest tech company out there,&#8221; a former employee posted on Blind, an anonymous forum for tech industry insiders.&nbsp;
The backlash does seem to have affected Meta's stock, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43806703/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-platforms-dips-below-short-term-average-as-it-snaps-20-day-winning-run">which ran</a> on a 20-day winning streak just after the layoffs were announced. 
In the 20 trading sessions between Jan. 16 to Feb. 14, Meta's stock rose 20.22%, and the company added over $350 billion in market capitalization during this period.
Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Meta shares ended Friday's session down 1.62% at $683.55 amid a broad market selloff.
